When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.
Do not short or disassemble the battery or attempt to remove or break the battery insulation or casing.
Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.
Do not immerse in or expose to water.
Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it before transporting.
Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
The battery is prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.
If liquid from the damaged battery comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Observe the following precautions when handling the Charging AC Adapter
Keep dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.
Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug should be removed with a dry cloth. Continued use could result in fire.
Do not handle the plug or go near the Charging AC Adapter during lightning storms. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or bend the USB cable, place it under heavy objects, or expose it to heat or flames. Should the insulation be damaged and the wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.
viii
Do not handle the plug or Charging AC Adapter with wet hands. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
Do not use with travel converters or adapters designed to convert from one voltage to another or with DC-to-AC inverters. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the product or cause overheating or fire.
Use the appropriate power supply (battery, Charging AC Adapter, AC adapter, USB cable)
Using a power supply other than those provided or sold by Nikon could result in damage or malfunction.
Use appropriate cables
When connecting cables to the input and output jacks, use only the cables provided or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to maintain compliance with product regulations.
Do not touch the moving parts of the lens
Failure to observe this precaution could result in injury.
Handle moving parts with care
Be careful that your fingers or other objects are not pinched by the lens cover or other moving parts.
Using the flash close to your subject's eyes could cause temporary visual impairment
The flash should be no less than 1 meter (3 ft 4 in.) from the subject. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants.
Do not operate the flash with the flash window touching a person or object

<Important> Notes About Location Data Functions (GPS/GLONASS, Electronic Compass)

Introduction
bMap/location name data of this camera
Before using the location data functions, make sure to read “USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MAP DATA AND LOCATION NAME DATA” (F21) and agree to the terms.
The maps and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) are as of April 2014. The maps and location name information will not be updated.
The details of geological formations are displayed simplistically according to the scale of a map. The scale of a map and level of detail of the location data vary depending on country and region. If the latitude becomes higher, the horizontal and vertical scales displayed on the monitor vary, therefore displayed geological formations differ from the actual formations. Use the maps and location name information only as a guide.
The detailed map data and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and the Republic of Korea are not provided for the COOLPIX S9900.
bNotes about record location data functions and log recording
When Record location data in Location data options of the Location data options menu is set to On or during log recording, record location data functions and log recording function will continue to operate even after the camera is turned off (E33).
An individual may be identified from still images or movies that have been recorded with location data. Observe caution when you transfer still images or movies recorded with location data, or log files to a third party or upload them to a network such as the Internet where the public can view them. Make sure to read “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (Avi).
xii
bNotes about measurement functions
The COOLPIX S9900 is a camera. Do not use this camera as a navigation device or measuring instrument.
Use information (such as direction) measured by the camera as a guideline only. Do not use this information for navigation of an airplane, car, and person or land survey applications.
When you use the camera for mountain climbing or trekking, make sure to take a map, navigation device, or measuring instrument separately.
bUsing the camera overseas
Before taking the camera with location data functions overseas for travel, consult your travel agency or embassy of the country you are visiting to confirm whether there is any restriction on use. For example, you cannot record location data logs without permission from the government in China. Set Record location data to Off.
The location data may not function properly in China and on the borders between China and neighboring countries (as of December 2014).

Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN Network)

This product is controlled by the United States Export Administration Regulations, and you are required to obtain permission from the United States government if you export or re-export this product to any country to which the
Introduction
United States embargoes goods. The following countries were subject to embargo: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Since the target countries are subject to change, please contact the United States Department of Commerce for the latest information.
Restrictions on Wireless Devices
The wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to wireless regulations in the country of sale and is not for use in other countries (products purchased in the EU or EFTA can be used anywhere within the EU and EFTA). Nikon does not accept liability for use in other countries. Users who are unsure as to the original country of sale should consult with their local Nikon service center or Nikon-authorized service representative. This restriction applies to wireless operation only and not to any other use of the product.
Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence­exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
xiv
COOLPIX S9900, which is equipped with a DW092 (FCC ID:EW4DW092 / IC ID:4634A-3149EC) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.
Declaration of Conformity (Europe)
Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that COOLPIX S9900 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/ EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at http://imaging.nikon.com/support/pdf/DoC_S9900.pdf.
